From the striking glass-enclosed entry to the inviting living room and beautifully appointed kitchen, the surrounding landscape becomes an integral part of the home's design. Natural light pours through generous windows, framing sweeping marsh vistas and the graceful branches of centuries-old live oaks. The main residence offers two bedrooms, sophisticated gathering spaces, and an inviting blend of architectural character and coastal comfort. The living room's fireplace creates a warm focal point, while the chef's kitchen features granite countertops, generous cabinetry, and premium appliances. Adjacent dining and gathering areas invite effortless entertaining, with captivating views providing a stunning backdrop.

Multiple outdoor living spaces offer opportunities to experience the beauty of the island throughout the day. The primary suite provides a private sanctuary, complete with a spacious walk-through closet, steam shower, and private balcony. Thoughtful design and carefully placed windows maintain a connection to the natural surroundings while providing comfort and seclusion.
